I have a friend who has been diagnosed with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. There is no other incidence of the condition within his family however his mother was born with a cleft palate. He believes he has passed on his mutation to both of his children. Based on this information do you think that his mutation is a result of random mutation or could there be a link between his mothers cleft palate and his condition? Is this condition dominant? And if so, what is the likelihood he could pass it on to his next child? Click here for answer

In two weeks, I have come to realize...
that we are broken and need each other to be complete,
that in our deepest hours of darkness, we must persevere,
that pickles can ruin a good falafel pita,
that I like small groups and sometimes big groups also,
that one day I'll learn Hebrew,
that dedicating myself to my Jewish heritage, my Jewish peers, and the entire global community is my path and passion, that March of the Living 2013 was a pivotal experience that I'll remember for the rest of my life.
Thank you friends, staff, random Polish and Israeli people, survivors, and everyone in between for allowing me to grow in unimaginable ways.
This Isn't The End, But Merely The Beginning
Posted on 04/18/2013 @ 04:59 PM
"BACK IN THE 203...March of the Living was by far the most adventurous and captivating two weeks of my high school career. With a myriad of emotions and a memorable group of diverse individuals, this trip has had a great impact on my life. From Poland to Israel, I learned what it truly means to be a Jewish person in our multifaceted culture. I am ready to share my experiences with ever single one of you. Retelling the past requires accepting and understanding listeners. I hope that by spreading the messages I learned on the March, I can help ensure that NEVER AGAIN will any people be inferior and tortured by others. And now when I say "next year in Jerusalem" I really mean it, and can take part in a prideful one-of-a-kind culture in Israel and around the world in general."
#MOTL'13 #NeverAgain #NextYearinJerusalem
- Genna Fudin
"Just when I thought BBYO had given me everything it could, March of the Living 2013 comes along and exceeds all expectations. Thank you for an incredible experience in Poland and Israel! These memories will last forever."
- Lindsay Goodman
"And with that the most life changing two weeks of my life has come to a close. Thank you March of the Living for teaching me what no class in school could ever teach me, letting me meet amazing people, and reminding me how incredible it is to be a Jew."
- Sydney Ellison
Back in America
Posted on 04/18/2013 @ 12:05 PM

From Generation To Generation
Posted on 04/09/2013 @ 09:40 PM
"When I learned about the Holocaust in Temple and in school, I just couldn't believe some of the things my educators have said. The unbelievable amount of deaths and horrifying torture that the Jews went through was unreal. But walking through the camps, the gas chambers, the prisons – it was mind blowing. And doing it alongside these incredibly courageous and strong survivors was incredibly inspiring. I'm so blessed to be a part of this trip and I cannot wait to see what else is in store." – Courtney Pories
"I am having an amazing trip. I have met lots of new people and have had many opportunities to see what I have learned in my history class so far. The most meaningful part for me was watching a video of a woman whose family hid 15 people during the Holocaust. She said if it happened again she would do it in a heartbeat. It was so special." – Alina
"Walking through Auschwitz with a Holocaust survivor made it such an eye-opening experience. To hear from someone that had a horrific experience at the camps made it more terrifying." – Samantha Simon, Evergreen Region
"When we all said the mourners Kaddish together as a kehillah (a community), it really hit me that we, as the next generation, have the obligation to pray for those who perished, speak for those who could not have, and to live our lives the fullest in honor of those whose lives were taken." – Briana Krasner, Central Region East
Posted on 04/08/2013 @ 02:17 PM
"One of the exhibits we saw in Auschwitz was a pile of prosthetic arms, legs and metal from wheelchairs, and anything of value from people with disabilities. When I saw that pile of items, I knew that the people they belonged to were the ones who went straight to the gas chambers. Later on, I saw a boy from another contingent in a wheel chair, and I knew that had he been here 70 years ago, his wheel chair would've been in that pile of items and he would've been gone." – Amanda Freedman
"Today everything I learned about the Holocaust seemed real and I was proud to be with my Jewish community. I have never been more proud to be Jewish." – Lauren Butowsky
"Getting the opportunity to go into the gas chambers, but to come out alive, was a privilege that many of our Jewish ancestors could not experience. Walking into the gas chamber and looking out a barbed wire window where March of the Living participants were proudly standing was a symbol of Jewish continuity and our strength to live on." – Genna Fudin, Connecticut Valley Region
Reflections From Day #1
Posted on 04/05/2013 @ 05:55 PM
After experiencing their first day in Poland, here are a few thoughts from our participants.
"Within the 24 hours that I've known Bus 2, I already feel such a strong bond between us. I am so thankful for the people who I get to experience this journey with." - JoJo Zamoiski
"I felt such a strong connection to those around me when we were standing around the memorial at Treblinka. We sang prayers and it was truly a once in a lifetime moment." - Sydney Topfer
"In Treblinka, the ground was covered in snow and my converse were clearly not protecting me from the cold. As my feet grew numb, I realized that the Jews in Treblinka had it a million times worse than I ever will." - Lindsey Block
Arrival to Poland
Posted on 04/05/2013 @ 02:34 PM

Two minutes added-time...
Final couple of minutes of normal time and proceedings are grinding to a halt at Carrow Road.

Liverpool with this result would move to within two points of City rivals Everton. FA Cup final next week of course.
Liverpool now in possession. This is going nowhere very quickly.
Bellamy looks to run at right-back Martin, but the defender stands strong once more. He's done well since coming on.
Lovely stuff! Russell Martin crosses from the right to find James Vaughan, who rises high and heads just wide.
Fifteen minutes remaining now...
What is that? Bradley Johnson swings in a left-footed cross, but it is dreadful. High, hopeful and straight to Pepe Reina.
Liverpool have men over as they counter with the ball at the feet of Stewart Downing. He makes a mess of the situation, cutting inside and taking all the pace out of the move.
Norwich looking to bring on Grant Holt to enliven proceedings.
Liverpool's wearing of white FA Cup final suits in 1996 is among the contenders for greatest FA Cup moments in an ESPN.Vote for your favourite moments here.
James Vaughan takes on an ambitious attempt for Norwich. Worth a try, but never threatening.
Suarez shows the other side to his game. Having harassed the defender into making a mistake, he is faced with a simple ball across the box to find Jonjo Shelvey. Yet, it is completely mishit.
Despite their lead and danger in attack, Liverpool don't look all that secure here at times.
Naughton looks to swing in a cross from deep on the Norwich left. Doesn't even make the area before being cleared by Carragher.
Vaughan slides in late on Pepe Reina, who takes a risk whilst clearing the ball.
Liverpool well on-top once more now...
Ahead of next week's FA Cup final, Liverpool fan Dave Kirby takes us through the Reds' rollercoaster season in the latest of our ESPN Fan Films.
Ridiculous miss! Suarez is through one-on-one and instead of rolling the ball home, looks to chip the keeper and misses the chance for a hat-trick
Long spell of possession in defence for Liverpool, until Carragher fires the ball long to the opposition.
A couple of chances in the last few minutes livens up proceedings somewhat.
Good play by Downing to turn Kyle Naughton on the Liverpool right. Gets a shot away, but well saved by John Ruddy.
Elliot Bennett takes another swing at goal from 30 yards. Decent attempt, but started wide and went further away as it travelled.
No doing from the corner as Liverpool clear. Referee awards a free-kick.
A fortunate deflection falls to Steve Morison at the edge of the box, but his tame shot creeps wide. Corner anyway.
Yet to score in the Premier League for Liverpool is Shelvey.
Has to score! Fine play from Jose Enrique down the left who then fires a great low ball across goal for Jonjo Shelvey. But, the midfielder misses from a couple of yards out.
More poor passing. This time Bradley Johnson looks to provide the killer ball and finds Henderson instead.
Gerrard, Suarez and Downing link-well together, with the England wide-man firing over the bar.
Off the bar! The ball loops into the air in the Norwich box and Jonjo Shelvey's header rattles back off the crossbar.
From the resulting corner, Bradley Johnson loses Shelvey and heads just wide.
Brilliant save! Elliot Bennett tests Reina from range and the Spaniard pulls off a fine stop.
Agger passes to no-one allowing Norwich to attack in-behind Glen Johnson. Carragher shepherds the ball for a throw-in.
Liverpool now look to assert control in midfield. Norwich playing a diamond midfield now, in a 4-4-2

Within a few seconds, Norwich are attacking Liverpool and they have a corner. Doesn't reach the front-post though.
SECOND HALF underway
James Vaughan replaced David Fox
The rain has got significantly heavier at half-time. Lovely stuff...
That's also ten league goals this season for Luis Suarez in 29 appearances. Modest return, but two big goals today.
Second-half coming up then. Norwich will need to significantly up their game to get anything from this one.
They were, unfortunately, the only two shots on-target all half
Suarez has been criticised for his profligacy this campaign, but he made no mistake today.
All about Luis Suarez in the first-half. A poor game lit up by two fine finishes from the Uruguayan.
HALF TIME Norwich 0-2 Liverpool
Howson - With the free-kick squandered, Howson prevents a Liverpool counter.
Final chance of the half for Norwich to swing the ball into the box. Bellamy giving away a free-kick on the right.
As Norwich lose the ball in attack, Bellamy plays a long-ball forward for Suarez who is flagged offside. Would have been wide open for him there.
Bellamy started his career at Norwich, scoring 34 goals in 91 games for the Canaries.
Bellamy lines-up the free-kick, but it is high and wide from the Welshman. Poor effort.
Elliot Ward fouls Luis Suarez as the Uruguayan looks to counter.
Bellamy catches Jonny Howson in midfield. Lucky to acoid a booking.
Liverpool getting frustrated with Norwich's hassling as they attack. Some tempers starting to flare.
Liverpool swing a corner in from the right. Well cleared by the head of Elliot Ward. Glen Johnson dallies and can't return the ball into the area.

Anthony Pilkington looks to break in behind Carragher to spark a Norwich attack. The experienced defender deals well with the threat, stepping across to clear.
Both teams try to string together some passes. It doesn't last long though.
Norwich can only blame themselves for the scoreline. Both goals from mistakes. Neither team playing well.
Opportunity not taken as they take it short. Messy passing loses the ball.
Foul on Glen Johnson gives Liverpool a free-kick from the right. What can they do here?
Bellamy taken out down the left-flank and wants a free-kick. The ball had already gone out of play though. Nothing given.
Norwich keeping the ball better since the second goal. They need to clear their minds.
Suarez is the difference between the two sides at the moment.
GOAL Norwich 0-2 Liverpool Suarez at the double!!! Breaking down the right after a mistake, the Uruguayan has far too much space and fires home with the outside of his boot past a helpless Ruddy.
Liverpool well on top since the goal. Bellamy loops a cross in to the back-post. Cleared.
Suarez gets lucky on the right and breaks past Elliot Ward before picking out Steven Gerrard with a cut-back. Gerrard's shot is well-blocked.
That puts a positive spin on proceedings. Hopefully the game will open up a bit.
GOAL Norwich 0-1 Liverpool Suarez scores!!! Gerrard robs the ball in midfield, before feeding Luiz Suarez in the left channel for the Uruguayan to fire home.
Long ball from Jamie Carragher looking for the man on the right-flank. Terribly overhit.
Russell Martin gets down the right-flank and looks to get a cross in. Cut out by Agger.
Liverpool looking to the left-flank once more. No luck this time.
Bellamy looks to get down the left-flank, but is flagged offside by the official. Nothing doing.
Cross from the Liverpool left finds Shelvey at the back post, but the youngster's control is terrible and he can't get a shot away.
Uninspiring midfield play from both sides. This game is lacking in everything.
Swung in, but straight to Pepe Reina. Poor.
Free-kick to Norwich from the right-flank. Dangerous.
Norwich picking-off Liverpool's long-balls with ease at the moment. New strategy required.
That change will see Kyle Naughton move across to left-back, with Russell Martin at right-back.
Russell Martin replaces Adam Drury
Pilkington got behind the defence down the left, but his ball across the defence cannot pick out Morison.
Looks like the end of his day for the long-serving full-back. Play underway again.
Adam Drury goes down after beating Luis Suarez to a ball in midfield. Looks to be a groin issue.
Not the best game so far. Neither side able to keep the ball.
Liverpool's attempt at an attack comes quickly to an end. Luis Suarez' lofted ball to Bellamy only finds the Norwich full-back.
Decent passing spell for Norwich quickly comes to an end. Far from enterprising fare thus far.
Bradley Johnson looks to play in Anthony Pilkington down the left. Cut out by Jamie Carragher.
Neither side settled yet. The ball is being turned-over with regularity at the moment.
Fox trots off to get his head stitched up and the play gets going again.
Decent start for Norwich. We have a delay already though as Jonjo Shelvey catches David Fox with his boot.
KICK OFF We are underway as Liverpool kick us off.
Nasty weather at Carrow Road. The teams are out. Let's just get going!
The teams are in the tunnel. Let's get ready to rumble...
Jonjo Shelvey and Jordan Henderson in the centre for Liverpool. Steven Gerrard supporting Luis Suarez up-front. Good news Liverpool fans?
Five changes for both sides. Gerrard and Carragher return for Liverpool, whilst Andy Carroll is left-out altogether. Norwich leave Grant Holt on the bench, Steve Morison starts up-front.

In a recent announcement, Rainforest Action Network and Orangutan Outreach have set up an online petition urging Oz to retract his support of red palm oil. According to RAN and Orangutan Outreach, the cultivation of red palm oil is destroying jungles in Borneo and Sumatra. According to the two groups, 90 percent of palm oil originates in Indonesia and Malaysia. The increased demand for this product has led to massive forest clearings, putting ecosystems and wildlife in danger.

SAN FRANCISCO– HarperCollins' recent public commitment to no longer source paper connected to endangered rainforests signifies a fundamental, sector-wide shift in the US publishing industry. This move by HarperCollins is on the heels of a major announcement in October by Disney, which released a comprehensive global paper policy covering the company's vast array of businesses and licensees.
Just over two years ago, independent fiber tests revealed paper linked to Indonesian rainforest destruction in books sold by nearly all top American publishers.
Getting your kid a book this holiday season? Before you pat yourself on the back for not buying some plastic crap destined for the dump, consider this: The book you bought might actually be destroying the rainforest.
HarperCollins US has said it will look to "address any anomalies in our supply chain" after being accused of using paper from endangered rainforests in its children's books.
HarperCollins, a division of News Corp, has been accused by a conservation group of using materials sourced from Indonesia's endangered rainforests.
Independent forensic fiber tests commissioned by the Rainforest Action Network (RAN), showed that some of HarperCollins' children's books were printed with rainforest fiber.
HarperCollins is challenging the methodology behind the newest advisory from the Rainforest Action Network that some of its children's books contain paper harvested from vulnerable Indonesian rainforests. According to RAN, a test conducted in November of seven HC titles found three with "significant" quantities of acacia fiber that is mainly sourced from Indonesian rainforest and trace amounts in "several" others.
Until recently, one could be forgiven for not being aware of the direct connection between the consumption of palm oil and the imminentthreat of extinction facing orangutans in Indonesia. But for companies like Cargill that are at the center of this controversy, this excuse is running out.
Given these worries, several environmental groups condemned the European Commission's biofuel ruling, which came after a series of meetings with the palm oil industry.
One of the RSPO's principles is to abide by local regulations, meaning member palm oil producers have committed to avoiding planting on peat lands. However, RSPO members have not agreed to a definition for peat land for the purposes of CSPO.

Philanthropy and You
Philanthropy: The act of goodwill to your fellow citizens
What does philanthropy mean to you? To the students, parents, alumni and faculty and staff who made gifts to support Kent State University last year, it means helping students by providing additional scholarship support.
Philanthropy is a powerful thing. Small gifts add up, and there is power in numbers. Student gifts of $5, $10 and $20, combined with larger gifts from parents, alumni and friends, have helped make the Pay It Flash Forward Scholarship possible. Philanthropy, in the form of private support, is working to make your time at Kent State as valuable and productive as possible for you!
Become a part of this culture! Make a gift and become a FLASHanthropist today!
Tradition: An inherited or established action or behavior
Kent State alumni started the tradition of giving back to their alma mater. As a student, you are now a member of the larger Kent State community -- and you have the power to keep the tradition of giving alive! FLASHanthropy is the first step in continuing this tradition!
Legacy: Something received from an ancestor or from the past
FLASHanthropy gives you have a chance to follow in the footsteps of those who came before you. Look around and you can see the legacies left by former Kent State students -- like the Kent State University Archway from the Class of 1956, and the Roe Green Center for the School of Theatre & Dance.
Leave your legacy today! Your gift will reach much farther than your wallet — it will reach out and affect the next generation of students at Kent State.

UPDATED WITH DEM PUSHBACK: Kasich to unveil school-funding plan Thursday in three forums
The Columbus Dispatch - January 30, 2013 5:01 PM
Ohio education leaders will be the first to hear Gov. John Kasich describe his new school-funding plan Thursday.
Kasich will roll out the proposal at 2 p.m. during a special meeting of the Buckeye Association of School Administrators at the Polaris Hilton.
He then hosts a press conference call before holding a virtual town hall meeting airing from COSI starting at 6 p.m. The latter event will feature a panel discussion with Richard Ross, the governor's director of 21st century education, Barbara Mattei-Smith, assistant policy Director for education, and other education leaders. The facility across the river from Downtown will be closed to the public during the event.
The roundtable will be webcast at http://www.ohiochannel.org/ or www.kasichforohio.com/live/
Chris Redfern, Ohio Democratic Party Chairman, took issue that the webcast would be aired over Kasich's campaign site.
"Since when did it become appropriate for the governor to use state government briefings to fuel his re-election campaign?" he said. "This is an example of Kasich showing he's just another politician, willing to misuse state resources at the first opportunity that suits his political ambitions."
The funding plan is expected to be part of Kasich's two-year budget plan, which will be released Monday.

What would you do if YouTube went dark tomorrow? Along with YouTube went Wikipedia (who has blacked out in protest for 24 hours starting at midnight January 18, 2012), Firefox, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Boning Boing, Tumblr and the list goes on. All that would be left are the big media (Time Warner) supported sites like CNN.com. That could be the result if the U.S. Congress were to pass the SOPA, PIPA or OPEN bills that either have been or are about to be, introduced into both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

The economic crises that had rocked the world to its very foundation has affected many people till date; many are still out a job; others have had to accept lesser job, all to keep body and soul together. But the entrepreneur who had his own business might have had a minor set-back and with time would have adjusted with the situation that had affected millions of others around the world.

As a former member of CarbonCopyPro, (now changing its name to Pro Elite) it has been an interesting ride to watch as the company grows, changes, or implodes, depending on how you look at it. In recent weeks one of their Top Income Earners (Jeff Lerner) was ordered to leave the company, and most of his team went with him. And just today, their VP of personal development, John Jackson, announced he was leaving to join others at Wealth Masters International.

Tip 1; MindsetAs a new Internet Marketer you must change your mindset. Your mindset will be the most powerful skill that you can master. Your mindset will be what leads you to success or what holds you back the Internet Marketing Industry. Changing your mindset is a must. We have been programmed from a young age to graduate high school and college, then go out and get a job. You must change your mindset from working a job and working for a boss to being your own boss. Once you master your mindset skill, you will open your mind and business to receive success.

What is the primary goal of our business as Internet marketers? That's a good question, the answer is to generate leads, because leads are what generate our income. How does this happen? We make it happen by optimizing our content and websites to show up at the top or near the top of the search engine rankings. This is a priority to marketers, if you don't generate leads, then you're not going to receive the type of revenue or income you got into this business to earn.

If you are one of the many that have started a small home-based business, you may have served yourself well by getting out in front of what appears to be a coming worldwide economic situation. Greece is the nation that currently has the dubious honor of being the front runner of collapsing economies. The government of Greece has announced another new austerity package within the last month. This austerity package further accelerates the dismantling of the middle-class welfare state while offering no replacement options.

Arrows provide ammunition for bows and dispensers, and can either be crafted or found as a common drop from skeletons. When fired, they will fly in a ballistic trajectory affected by gravity and drag in air or water and will travel approximately 3 blocks when fired parallel to a flat plane with no charge, 15 blocks average with medium charge, and 24 blocks average with maximum charge. Arrows in water get much more drag than in air, and leave a trail of bubbles in their wake. Arrows (with bow at full strength) can travel 120 blocks when fired from the optimal angle.
They deal damage when fully charged (or, rarely, ); if they are charged to medium, they will deal , and if not charged at all. Arrows fired from dispensers deal damage. It appears that the speed of the arrow determines the damage. Immediately after hitting the target, there is a 0.5 second cooldown during which the target will be immune to further damage. Arrows hitting the mob in this state will lose all speed and drop to the ground.
Arrows will also stick into objects they come in contact with and will remain there for exactly a minute before disappearing; the distance from the object and the angle determine how far into the target the arrow will go. Arrows that have been fired by the player and stuck into terrain are retrievable and never break. Arrows shot by skeletons are special entities and cannot be collected. If someone is hit by an arrow while they have the Absorption effect, the arrow will do no damage when the effect wears off. If an arrow is stuck in a block and the block in which the arrow is stuck in is broken, then the arrow will fall, and the sound of an arrow hitting a block will be triggered again, even if the arrow just falls one block down.
They can bounce off entities like minecarts and mobs immune to damage. In multiplayer, if PvP is on, a player can hurt themselves if they run forward while shooting arrows while the server is lagging. It is also possible for players to damage themselves with their own arrows by firing one directly up and standing still. Arrows fired directly upward using a fully charged bow will fly so high that they disappear from view, but eventually fall. If that arrow lands on a block, and the player is directly beneath that block, then the player breaks that block, the arrow will fall and do one heart of damage to the player. In Pocket Edition, when shot on paintings, it will bounce off and injure anybody or thing under it. This bug has been fixed recently by being, the painting demolished and fall into item form.
If the block in which an arrow is stuck in is destroyed or disappears (e.g. leaves), the arrow will fall and can injure the player or a mob.
Arrows shot through lava, but not fire, will catch on fire and show an appropriate animation until they pass through water. They can set other entities they hit on fire.
Arrows shot at rails will stop the minecart from passing over that block until the arrow despawns or is collected.
An arrow shot at a storage minecart will cause the minecart to break, dropping a minecart, a chest, and the contents of the storage minecart.
Sometimes, in the Xbox 360 Edition, arrows will fly into a mob, however not damaging the mob and bouncing back, then after a second they will continue flying in the direction you aimed the arrow.
[edit] Crafting
|Crafting recipe
[edit] Arrows and circuits
While arrows shot at switches will not trigger said inputs directly, it is now possible to shoot arrows at wooden buttons to create a redstone signal, however, prior to these being added to the game, other workarounds could be used. For instance, a minecart can be used in such a way that destroying it with arrows releases the Wooden pressure plate it is resting on(or, since Beta 1.5, a Detector Rail), or a painting can be shot off a wall and fall onto a Wooden pressure plate to activate it. Boats can be used as targets since a bow shot with medium or full charge will break the boat in one shot. These methods can now be bypassed using wooden buttons, which can be activated directly by arrows.
Additionally, a wooden pressure plate can be activated by firing an arrow at it directly. This, however, requires one to force the block occupied by the pressure plate to update after the arrow makes contact. This can be achieved in SSP by passing particles through the pressure plate (by placing a torch or source of fire nearby or dripping lava or water above) and in both SSP and SMP by placing a boat on an adjacent half block (so part is over the pressure plate but not touching it). Arrows can also activate a pressure plate if fired at the side of the block to which it is attached, although only if fired at the top half. This can be used to create completely invisible switches that can be activated at a distance.
The ability for arrows to activate wooden pressure plates or buttons is not currently a feature in the Xbox 360 edition (12/19/13).
An alternative implies shooting an arrow on the upper half of a block holding a rail (powered or not). The minecart should stop on this track instead of going on; the cart can either be blocked (or sent back if in the middle of a ramp), in combination with looped minecart circuits, this can be an effective trigger, and does not require particle updates.
Arrows shot into a repeater, comparator, or redstone lamp will shake when going from an off to an on state.
[edit] Arrows in flight and Explosions
Arrows are affected by the blast from TNT and creepers while they are in flight (Confirmed in beta 1.7). A perfectly timed dispenser can be used to fire an arrow over primed TNT and the blast force imparted can be used to increase the flight range of the arrow. Using this same mechanic, a player could time a creeper explosion to do the same. Since explosions increase the speed of an arrow, they can also increase the damage dealt by them. Thus, enough TNT (or any explosion) propelling an arrow can kill a player in one hit.
[edit] Trivia
- If an arrow is lodged in a block which has multiple states, it will dislodge itself when said block updates. This causes the arrow to shift slightly, and to replay the impact sound effect. This effect has been witnessed on furnaces, doors, gates, redstone ore, redstone lamps, redstone repeaters, pistons and command blocks.
- If an arrow is fired through a Nether Portal in the Overworld the arrow does one of three things in an apparent random pattern: either it remains in the Overworld, passing through the portal; or it disappears; or it travels through the portal to the Nether.
- An arrow can fly a maximum distance of 115 blocks if shot at a 45 degree angle. It reaches a height of around 34 blocks.
- The maximum height an arrow fired by a bow can reach is around 66 blocks.
- In previous versions, Arrows fired at Giants (which had to be hacked into the game) would not scale properly to size. This resulted in "Giant-sized" arrows sticking out of them from wherever they hit.
- If on a laggy server, arrows appear to bounce off of the player.

|Became craftable. The arrow sound effect was added in.
|The tip of an arrow in crafting is now made from flint rather than iron.
|Arrows used to stick in any block before this update, even some non-solid ones. For example, they could stick in torches, sugarcane, and portals.
|Arrows can no longer be rapid-fired from bows. Arrows (with bow at full strength) can travel 120 blocks when fired from the optimal angle, and stick to mobs.
|Official release
|Arrows no longer stick to mobs.
|Arrows which are on fire now set entities they hit on fire. Before, arrows could be on fire (like other entities), but they did not set what they hit on fire, and there was no enchantment to fire flaming arrows.
|Arrows can activate the tripwire switch and wooden pressure plates.
|Arrows can activate the new wooden buttons.
|Arrows on fire can ignite TNT.
|Arrows stick to players again, but not mobs.
|Pocket Edition Alpha
|Added arrows.

Heavy hitters on the civic scene and baseball history are in the lineup for this week's "Naples Daily NewsMakers with Jeff Lytle'' airing Sunday morning at 10 on ABC7.
Guests are Murray Hendel, chairman of the new Collier Community Alliance, made up of countywide civic leaders to adress major issues; Marvin Easton, a retired IBM executive working on streamlining support duties rather than consolidating fire districts; and Greg Luzinski, the ex-Phillies and White Sox slugger who now lives in Bonita Springs.
Highlights are at naplesnews.com/newsmakers.
NewsMakers: Greg Luzinski
Ex-MLB slugger talks baseball.
Greg Luzinski
Lytle: What do you make of the outcome of the Ryan Braun substance-testing case? Is there still a Major League Baseball drug policy in place? Or does this case just wipe it out?
Luzinski: No, I think there's ... obviously there's a drug policy in place.
Lytle: But does it mean anything?
Luzinski: Yeah, that's hard to say. You know players from my era, you know, they look at this ... the steroid issue and the drug issue, you know, as ... it's a black eye on baseball. I mean, you got a lot of guys ... (Mark) McGwire and (Sammy) Sosa went at it for one year to actually bring baseball back. They were hitting home runs 60 at a time, you know, and here they are kind of really blackballed — with a little question mark behind their names.
In the (Ryan) Braun case, they waited too long to test, supposedly.
You know, there is a glitch obviously in the system, and they're going to need to take care of that. Because with the testing that they do today, it's hard to believe that anybody could get by with enhancement drugs.

The alpine environment is a beautiful destination for winter or summer holidays and a venue for many challenging and exciting activities including skiing and bushwalking. The Alps however, can be hazardous if visitors are careless or irresponsible.
This SnowSafe website has been published to provide essential information on how to enjoy the Alps in safety and comfort. Planning and preparation are the keys to having a safe and enjoyable alpine experience and these concepts are reinforced throughout this webiste.
Snow Safety Inc, Australian Ski Patrol Association, and the Australian Ski Areas Association have worked together to produce this alpine safety information to make it easier for visitors to the snow.
The information provided in this SnowSafe website serves as a guide only and does not guarantee the prevention of any loss, damage, injury or other adverse outcome occurring whilst in the alpine regions.
Alcohol & Drugs are fuel for disaster in the snow, they impair your judgement and your ability. Your reaction times are significantly reduced and increase the risk of injury. The whole alpine experience begins when you leave home and doesn't finish until you return. Avoid alcohol consumption and the use of illegal substances, because they increase your risk of hypothermia.
Alcohol & Drugs impair judgement, slow response time and reduce your ability to respond to an emergency.

It would be easy to miss in all the attention given to the re-election of President Barack Obama, but our neighbors in Maryland did something big on Election Day: They voted to affirm a state law granting same-sex couples the right to marry.
Opponents of same-sex marriage started with the reasonable argument that such a change should come from legislators, not from judges. But when state legislatures began passing such laws without prompting from the courts, they turned to another argument: When put to a referendum, same-sex marriage has never been approved by the voters anywhere in the United States.
No longer. Not only did our neighbors in Maryland vote for equality before the law, but voters in Maine did so, too. In Washington state, the vote was very close, but support for same-sex marriage was leading as of this writing. In Minnesota, there was a referendum on an amendment to the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage; it failed, so the Legislature remains free to pass a law allowing same-sex couples the same dignity and protection of law that opposite-sex couples have long enjoyed.
It is true that marriage has a long history (though not forever) of being between one man and one woman. But if the "we've always done it this way" argument were valid, we never would have declared our independence from the British or abolished slavery in Pennsylvania. Also, we never would have changed laws that essentially treated wives as their husbands' property. We now recognize marriage as a partnership between two adults of equal standing. There is no reason why one of these adults needs to have a Y chromosome and the other needs to lack it to get a marriage license.
It is true that a major reason for the legal protections of marriage is for the protection of children and that same-sex couples cannot procreate. But we do not deny marriage licenses to elderly couples, nor do we do so to people who have undergone surgery to ensure they will not procreate. Also, a growing number of same-sex couples adopt children—in many cases, children who are beyond infancy and are therefore hard to place in permanent homes. Surely it is better to have two mothers or two fathers in a permanent home than to bounce around from one foster home to another until aging out of the system.
It is true that many (but not all) religious leaders oppose same-sex marriage. That is their right, and our neighbors in Maryland wisely included in their law protection for religious congregations that do not want to sanction same-sex marriage. But the fact that many members of the clergy oppose same-sex marriage is no reason for the state to deny the issuance of a license—a perfectly secular function of government.
In some other states, owners of businesses such as catering halls have gotten into trouble with the law for denying service to same-sex couple who want to marry there. There is no reason to be concerned with that in Pennsylvania: Our state's anti-discrimination laws do not cover discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. So caterers, florists, photographers and others who provide services to weddings would still have the right to be wrong. They might face consumer boycotts, but they could refuse service to same-sex couples without legal consequences.
Many people believe it is only a matter of time before the U.S. Supreme Court mandates nationwide recognition of same-sex marriage, much like it struck down bans on interracial marriage in 1967. But Pennsylvania should not wait. Just as we were on the right side of history when we abolished slavery well before the Civil War or when we repealed our sodomy law well before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled sodomy laws unconstitutional, we should be on the right side of history on this issue. The Pennsylvania Legislature should grant legal recognition to same-sex marriage.

The Corbett administration is moving to ensure that Pennsylvanians have more access to gambling than they do to public information about gambling.
Last week the governor said that expanding the $3.5 billion state lottery to include keno and online games is one of the best ways to produce more revenue to fund the state's roster of services for the elderly.
He apparently isn't confident enough in that, however, to include the public in the process.
The administration has declined to identify the companies with which it is discussing private management of the lottery, which is managed now by the state Department of Revenue. Other states that have converted to private management, however, have identified the companies that have sought the business.
The administration also has said it has the unilateral authority to vastly expand access to gambling with online games - a notion with which the Republican-controlled state Senate quite rightly disagrees.
Regardless of whether the administration technically has the legal authority to introduce online gambling, it lacks the moral authority to do so. Such a vast expansion of gambling should be examined closely by the Legislature, including through public hearings, to ensure not simply that online gambling will produce revenue but to ensure that it's the right thing as a matter of public policy.
Politicians love gambling because it enables them to say that they have increased revenue without imposing a general tax increase. But there is abundant evidence that the state's gambling revenue, from casinos and the lottery, comes disproportionately from lower-income individuals, making gambling primarily a tax on the poor. And lawmakers who think more gambling is the answer to every problem also fail to consider the costly social dysfunction that gambling fosters.
The gambling expansion envisioned by the governor might well be inevitable. But the process should be transparent so that Pennsylvanians can follow that dubious path with their eyes open.

First, Graham Spanier was on sabbatical leave.
Then, he was placed on administrative leave.
Well, how about just plain leave?
As in: "I resign."
Or, failing that—sayonara.
We regret to inform you...
Get out.
You're fired!
That last one was the fate of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno—and rightly so. The Freeh Report and testimony in the Sandusky case made it amply clear that the legendary coach—who in other respects was certainly a great man—did not do his duty to protect children from a predatory monster.
If there was enough evidence of dereliction of moral duty to fire JoePa, surely there ought to be enough to terminate Mr. Spanier.
Yes, he was removed as president of the university.
But he was also a tenured professor. When he moved out of the presidency he moved into a professorial position.
He was on sabbatical leave while the Sandusky case played out - and was slated to return to duties next semester.
Now he's been charged with perjury and obstruction in the case - along with two other high-ranking university officials.
After the announcement of the criminal charges by state Attorney General Linda Kelly, school officials said Mr. Spanier was placed on leave.
So he went from one paid leave to another paid leave.
What's the difference?
Mr. Spanier should simply leave his position at Penn State.
Disassociate himself from the university.
Do it for the good of the school—which, presumably, he loved during his 16 years at its helm.
Granted, his attorneys say he's innocent of the allegations that he essentially covered up Jerry Sandusky's crimes to protect the school - as do attorneys for Tim Curley and Gary Schultz.
They are all presumed innocent until proven guilty—and they can argue their innocence in court.
But as many JoePa apologists note, the coach was abruptly fired and didn't get the chance to defend himself in court (though it looks like he might have had he not died from lung cancer).
It seems like that should be the fate of Mr. Spanier as well—not moving from one paid leave to another paid leave.
He was one of the highest-paid public university presidents in the country. Surely he's amassed some significant resources during that time and can manage without a professor's salary and a university-aided legal defense.
Do the right thing here, Mr. Spanier.
Just leave.

We've grown somewhat accustomed to bank robberies occurring in spurts, and we've come to accept a common theory that such crimes rise as we get close to the holidays or in response to the poor economy.
Now Erie police have a new explanation for several of the bank robberies that rattled bank employees and customers last week when seven area banks were robbed in six days. On Monday, police charged two people in connection with some of those robberies, saying that the motive was to score quick cash to satisfy a heroin fix.
We congratulate the Erie police for developing leads that led to the arrest of the two robbery suspects, Anthony J. Herrmann, 34, who did not have a home address, and Erin M. Anderson, 27, of the 100 block of Hess Ave. Detectives said their investigation led them to the two suspects after a tip led them to discover a dead 28-year-old man at a downtown hotel. Herrmann has been charged in the robbery of Erie Bank, West 10th and Peach streets, on Thursday morning and with the robbery of First National Bank, 1424 E. Grandview Blvd., on Thursday afternoon. Anderson has been charged in the First National Bank robbery.
Herrmann and Anderson are also being investigated as suspects in the robberies at PNC Bank, on Peach Street and West Gore Road, on Friday afternoon and at Northwest Savings Bank, 850 Pittsburgh Ave., late Saturday morning. "It appears that these bank robberies were motivated by the need for cash to purchase heroin," Erie Deputy Police Chief Randy Bowers said. "It appears they were spending it as fast as they got it."
Fortunately, no bank employees or customers were hurt. Nevertheless, the trauma of being robbed or witnessing such a crime will linger, especially because this string of robberies occurred over such a large area and because Erie banks weren't the only targets. On Nov. 5, two banks in Jamestown, N.Y., were hit. On Thursday, a bank in Conneaut, Ohio, was held up.
If addiction to heroin proves to be the motive in many of these bank robberies, that fact will add to the evidence that our community has a heroin problem, and that users and victims (often one and the same) can't be stereotyped as belonging to one type of demographic.
That's why we've praised Erie resident Mary Kay Eisert-Wlodarczyk for her courage in writing about the heroin overdose that claimed her son, Collin, 20, on March 28.
Erie County detectives, Erie police and Millcreek Township police recently charged two Detroit men with transporting heroin into Erie by train and then delivering it to a Millcreek apartment. "It was one of those investigations where there were links in the chain," Erie County District Attorney Jack Daneri said. "The next thing you know, bigger fish were caught. That's exactly how it's supposed to work." We need to figure out how to deal with the other fish in the chain, too, before more of them die.
